In a context of tense agricultural negotiations at the WTO, Geographical Indications (GIs) are subject to intense bargaining. The way European and American standpoints can (or cannot) be conciliated affect the future of the products themselves, but also of the development potential of entire regions and the way they integrate into the world economy. While GIs are recognized by the TRIPS (trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights) component of the Marrakech agreements (1994) of the GATT/WTO, 1 they are still the object of multiple interpretations. Generally speaking, the positions of governments have oscillated between the adoption of a system of (collective) trademarks and one of Protected Geographical Indication (PGI). In recent years, stimulated by the TRIPS, the debate has reached new players, especially in Asia. The new interest of Asian countries in GIs is not an unexpected one, as they play an important role in the international agro-food business. Nevertheless, since GIs are relatively new in Asia, the respective positions of individual economies towards them are not always fully established. Many are still adapting their national regulations to the different international agreements they signed and have hesitated on the direction to follow. But that also explains why their attitude is so fundamental: the way in which GIs will be implemented is likely to modify the unstable balance between the tenets of the PGIs and those of the trademarks. 2
